Researches have found that it plays an antioncogene role in inhibiting tumor proliferation and migration, inducing cell apoptosis. The mechanism involves in tumor immunity and inflammatory reaction, apoptosis and epithelial mesenchymal transition. The alternative splicing isoforms of IRF3 act as negative modulators of IRF3 and affect tumor development progress. The recent signaling pathways and pathogenesis researches provide new ideas for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
